Just got around to watching this & I LOVED it. It’s only on Prime for 5 more days…so go watch it! And if you don’t already follow Simon, you should - he’s always good for movie & music recommendations

Amazon owning Bond isn’t good news, but if they let Martin Campbell reboot the series again…

Back at @ifccenter.bsky.social next month for a rare screening of Rosa von Praunheim’s TRANSEXUAL MENACE — easily one of the best (and most vital) trans documentaries ever made www.ifccenter.com/films/transe...

Folks, we're gonna make mistakes, like cancelling bubonic plague and nuking Wyoming because I spilled some Takis on my keyboard and gummed up the "enter" key, BUT REST ASSURED, we will be quick to fix, uh, something...

Just told Jene that she's "a bit Trumpy." TBH, the relationship needed a bit of a shake-up, a little romance, me being thrown down some stairs, etc.

Oh hey, lookit that - a new Overdue Diligence piece just went up on the Patreon! As dictated by the poll, this one's about Gary P. Cohen's seminal SOV horror VIDEO VIOLENCE. Bit of a tug on a thread that wrapped itself around me this time. This one's for both paid and unpaid subscribers, so sign up!

Musk is the answer to a question nobody thought to pose (What if Billy Quizboy was not only dumber than his reputation, but also completely unlovable?)

First morning commute in months without B train service to Manhattan. There are seats on this Q train, but the conductor sounds like Emo Phillips…

Cracked open my bluray of Korean action maestro Ryoo Seung-wan’s VETERAN (2015) before watching last year’s sequel, I, THE EXECUTIONER. As close as Ryoo has come to a BEVERLY HILLS COP style policier. Snappy, relentless, very fun. I’d joke that Ryoo should do the next ROUNDUP, but he deserves better

Very happy to share the program and schedule for @spectacletheater.com’s impending program of Hindi language Indian horror movies by the pioneering Ramsay bros. I helped to facilitate these screenings and plan to be in attendance at a couple of shows: spectacletheater.com/doom-boom/

I hope that any time Musk enters a room, somebody plays this song (and loud): www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWSq...

I bet Richard Kiel would have made a great Musk. Like, not a full impression, you'd just point to him in the middle of a sketch, and be like AND THIS GUY and Kiel would laugh maniacally in his little MAGA trucker hat and we'd all laugh too

What a fantastic thread about a director I'm not very familiar with. STARS screened at Film Lincoln Center a few years ago, but I missed it

Dear manager, last week I: -Was walking on the ground -didn’t make a sound -turned around and saw a clown. -I hate you clown, your ugly frown.

I don’t have a leg to stand on here, but if you’re watching FLIGHT RISK at this point then I feel like you’re either a bit naive or weirdly trying to see how cold this bland garbage apparently is.

The hair cut that Ólafur Darri Ólaffson has in SEVERANCE makes him look like Peter Schickele.
